Helping You Protect Your Child
If your son or daughter has been accused of a crime, one of the first things you obviously try to do as a parent is to help fix the problem. One of the best ways to make a difference in your child's case — whatever the criminal charge — is to contact and consult a lawyer with experience in handling juvenile crimes.
At the Livermore Law Offices of Karlstrom & Krebs, our attorneys work with juveniles and parents throughout the Tri-Valley area. Our husband and wife team of lawyers brings more than 50 years of combined experience to your child's defense, and emphasizes personalized service and custom solutions that match your family's needs
Working In the California Juvenile System
It is important to understand that the juvenile court system provides some flexibility, but to access that flexibility you need a strong and reliable advocate on your side. A juvenile offense can be as life changing and damaging to a young person as an adult record. You and your family cannot just assume that a juvenile arrest will go away on its own.
The decisions you make now can impact your son or daughter's ability to get a loan, an education, a drivers' license, a job or a home — not just now, but in the years to come and into adulthood. Our attorneys work with a wide range of juvenile crimes, including:
- Underage possession
- DUI
- Drug charges
- Vandalism
- Shoplifting
- Petty theft
- School violations
- Assault
Handling both adult and juvenile criminal defense, our office works with minors and their families to build an effective defense. We work hard to find alternatives to serious penalties or detention by the California Youth Authority.
